good advice from Veritas.... I would add that it is a good idea to get a reservation for the ferry as soon as you decide when you want to go.....they can quickly fill or sell out on busy warm sunny days..... I haven't done that trip for a while but it is worth looking into the schedule/ availability of places on the ferry..... extra good advice don't even consider taking a car or driving... big hassle no parking/ expensive long car trip from Boston....

I bet several folks would consider a day trip or overnight ..there are just so many bars/souvenir/art shops, etc you can visit that taking the early ferry staying all day and an overnight then the next day come back on the late ferry....continue in Boston...

maybe leave early sat morning stay over Sat night ..come back on late ferry on Sun .. continue around Boston on Mon if you can still walk... I would consider doing that...

Count me in. I've never done it either. P town or Key WEst or that place where the Manhattenites go...they've never been on my itinerary. It's never too late. A boat road sounds nice. Nick's idea sounds good to me.

Sounds like fun, maybe we can go during the following week after our only weekend in Boston and the walking tour and Friday and Saturday nights in the city...The weekdays should be cheaper and far fewer people, maybe a long day trip would be good. Let's talk.

This sounds like it may grow some legs pretty quick even if only 6 or so folks decide to make the trip it would be a lot of fun...... From past experience ( a long time ago) almost any nice summer day is crowded....there may be a few less people on the ferries during the week but Ptown in the summer is a mob scene.....the only advantage to a Sat trip is that there are more choices of ferry trips during the week,if I remember correctly, only one boat runs two or three round trips..on weekends at least two boats do round trips....so with a little advance planning any day would be good.... should we start scouting some B&Bs for an overnight stay??

Also consider either the Gifford House Inn or The Crown and Anchor Inn. The Gifford House accommodations aren't particularly stunning, but the place boasts a great "Porch Bar" downstairs, great for drinks before heading to the A House little bar, upstairs Macho Room and adjacent dance club (all a must). And at The Croown and Anchor, you have The Vault, Wave Bar and Paramount dance club downstairs.

You may also wish to consider staying at the Boat Slip, on Commercial Street. While not exactly cheap, it's right on the harbor and hosts an immensely popular tea dance every afternoon. Plus, there are no minimum reservation requirements -- you can stay one or two nights, if that's all you're interested in.

And as everyone else has said, the ferry from Boston is part of the Provincetown experience and you absolutely do not need a car in town (in fact, you'd be crazy to have one).
